starts at 7.30pm. Refreshments are provided.
Here is what the Pioneer Projects website says about their Thursday
meetings: Creative Community -Settle 1.30-3.30 – 015242 62672 to book
A friendly and supportive group led by an artist and supported by an
arts assistant. Particularly suitable for anyone living with long-term
health conditions, facing social isolation or a carer. Safe,
stimulating and inclusive. No need to be good at art—simple
techniques to try out in a relaxed group.
